Increase in medical school applicants
First time applicants to medical school reached an all-time high this year. A 2.6 percent increase was reported by the AAMC. There were also gains across most of the major racial groups. Hopefully, this rise of medical school students will help fill in the gaps in states where there is a shortage of physicians. With this increase in applicants, more positions for residency training must open as well. This is a great time for medical school applicants to increase due to the challenges our health care system faces.
